Points of Interest

Here For You, Always. FND understands the challenges affecting families that have children with disabilities. Thats because we were founded in 1985 by those same families the ones seeking more and better options for the care and education of their kids. The active, caring parents that were among FNDs original members have helped it grow into the state and national organization it is today. Before our founding, kids with disabilities were generally met with low expectations by those entrusted with teaching them. But as FND has grown and evolved, we have worked to deliver information and training to families and provide one-on-one assistance to help them understand their rights and receive better education outcomes for their children.
